>>TONIGHT IN OUR PRESENTATION OF
00:01:41.00\00:01:49.30
HEROES OF FAITH , WE'RE GOING
TO BE TALKING ABOUT GIANT FAITH.
00:01:49.30\00:01:53.81
HAVE YOU EVER COME TO A
PRECIPICE IN YOUR LIFE WHERE YOU
00:01:53.81\00:01:56.81
NEED TO MAKE A DECISION?
YOU WERE AT A THRESHOLD AND YOU
00:01:56.81\00:01:59.55
HAD TO DECIDE, 'AM I
REALLY GOING TO TAKE THE LEAP?
00:01:59.55\00:02:04.09
AM I GOING TO
REALLY MAKE THAT DECISION?'
00:02:04.09\00:02:06.29
AND YOU KNEW THAT YOUR
WHOLE FUTURE RESTED ON WHAT YOU
00:02:06.29\00:02:09.12
DECIDED AT THAT POINT. A
FEW YEARS AGO A FRIEND INVITED
00:02:09.12\00:02:14.46
ME AND OUR SON DANIEL TO
GO UP AND TRY HANG GLIDING.
00:02:14.46\00:02:20.27
THIS FRIEND SAID, 'THERE
ARE SOME HILLS UP IN NORTHERN
00:02:20.27\00:02:23.20
CALIFORNIA AND I'VE GOT
SOME HANG GLIDERS, COME ON.
00:02:23.20\00:02:25.47
YOU AND DANIEL COME ON UP AND
I'LL LET DANIEL JUMP OFF SOME OF
00:02:25.47\00:02:28.54
THE LITTLE BUNNY HILLS.' AND
HE SAID, 'NO, YOU AND I, WE CAN
00:02:28.54\00:02:31.11
JUMP OFF A CLIFF.' I SAID,
'SURE, SOUNDS GOOD.' AND SO HE
00:02:31.11\00:02:39.49
TOOK US UP AROUND THE HILLS AND
A FEW TIMES WE JUMPED OFF AND
00:02:39.49\00:02:44.09
SUCCESSFULLY LANDED SOME
JUST GENTLY SLOPING HILLS WHERE
00:02:44.09\00:02:46.66
YOU'RE TEMPORARILY AIRBORNE BUT
THE GROUND NEVER LEAVES VERY FAR
00:02:46.66\00:02:49.76
FROM YOUR FEET. HE
SAID, 'EH, YOU GUYS' HE SAID,
00:02:49.76\00:02:53.07
'YOU'RE NATURALS.' HE SAID,
'DOUG, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE A PILOT.
00:02:53.07\00:02:55.07
I THINK YOU CAN DO IT.
LET'S GO UP TO THE HILL THERE.'
00:02:55.07\00:02:58.07
I SAID, 'OKAY.' HE TOOK US UP TO
A HIGH HILL AND HE BROUGHT ME TO
00:02:58.07\00:03:01.88
A PRECIPICE AND I PUT THIS HANG
GLIDER MOUNTED ON MY BACK AND
00:03:01.88\00:03:07.25
YOU'RE STRAPPED IN WITH A
HARNESS AND YOU'RE HANGING FROM
00:03:07.25\00:03:09.32
THE FRAME AND YOU'VE GOT THESE
TWO BIG WINGS GOING OUT ON THE
00:03:09.32\00:03:12.19
SIDE AND IT'S GOT A LITTLE
RIBBON COMING OFF THE ALUMINUM
00:03:12.19\00:03:14.72
STRUTS SO HE COULD SEE
WHEN THE WIND WAS RIGHT.
00:03:14.72\00:03:16.89
AND HE SAID,
'ALRIGHT, JUST PUSH.
00:03:16.89\00:03:17.69
YOU'LL GET IT.'
HE WAS SO CONFIDENT.
00:03:17.69\00:03:20.16
AND FINALLY I GOT UP TO THE EDGE
AND THE BREEZE WAS JUST RIGHT.
00:03:20.16\00:03:26.74
HE SAID, 'THIS IS
PERFECT. GO AHEAD.' I SAID,
00:03:26.74\00:03:29.37
'WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
JUST' - 'YOU'RE GOOD.
00:03:29.37\00:03:30.67
JUMP.' (LAUGHTER) I SAID, 'JUST
LIKE - LIKE' - HE SAID, 'YEAH.'
00:03:30.67\00:03:34.51
I'M LOOKING DOWN - YOU KNOW,
ALL YOUR LIFE YOU LEARN ABOUT
00:03:34.51\00:03:37.55
GRAVITY TO AVOID
LIKE JUMPING OFF CLIFFS.
00:03:37.55\00:03:40.18
(LAUGHTER) AND THERE'S GUARD
RAILS EVERYWHERE AND HERE I AM.
00:03:40.18\00:03:43.62
AND HE'S TELLING ME TO DO
SOMETHING THAT INSTINCTIVELY
00:03:43.62\00:03:45.42
YOU'RE THINKING - AND, YOU
KNOW, THE WINGS ARE ABOVE YOU.
00:03:45.42\00:03:48.96
YOU DON'T SEE THEM. ALL
YOU SEE IS GROUND BELOW YOU
00:03:48.96\00:03:50.66
AND YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO JUST LEAP.
00:03:50.66\00:03:52.43
AND I - I'LL ADMIT THAT I STOOD
THERE QUIVERING FOR AWHILE.
00:03:52.43\00:03:58.10
AND I HAD TO DECIDE. HE
SAID, 'LOOK' - HE FINALLY
00:03:58.10\00:04:00.70
SAID, 'IT'S NOT - CONDIONS
ARE NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER.
00:04:00.70\00:04:03.77
YOU'VE JUST GOT TO DECIDE IF YOU
WANT TO DO IT.' AND I THOUGHT,
00:04:03.77\00:04:08.08
'YOU KNOW, IF I DON'T DO IT,
THE REST OF MY LIFE I'M GOING TO
00:04:08.08\00:04:13.35
REGRET IT AND
MY SON IS WATCHING.
00:04:13.35\00:04:19.32
AND WHAT WILL THAT TELL HIM?'
SO I SAID, 'WELL, AT LEAST IF
00:04:19.32\00:04:24.53
I TRY.' AND IT WAS ONE OF
THE HARDEST THINGS I'VE EVER
00:04:24.53\00:04:28.20
DONE AND I WAS SCARED.
DO YOU EVER GET WHERE, LIKE,
00:04:28.20\00:04:31.20
YOU'RE ON THE BORDER OF PANIC?
AND I HAD TO DECIDE, 'AM I
00:04:31.20\00:04:32.97
REALLY GOING TO TAKE THE
PLUNGE?' AND I PUSHED OFF.
00:04:32.97\00:04:36.94
AND, FOR A MOMENT, I COULD FEEL
MYSELF FALLING, AS YOU NORMALLY
00:04:36.94\00:04:40.21
WERE, BUT THEN THE WINGS CAUGHT
THE WIND AND I BEGAN TO GO UP.
00:04:40.21\00:04:45.85
AND JUST AS I'M GOING UP I HEARD
HIM TURN AND SAY TO DANIEL, HE
00:04:45.85\00:04:50.49
SAID, 'YOU KNOW, I NEVER DID
TELL HIM WHAT TO DO WHEN HE GETS
00:04:50.49\00:04:52.42
TO 18,000 FEET.' (LAUGHTER) BUT,
YOU KNOW, THE CHRISTIAN LIFE, IT
00:04:52.42\00:05:01.26
REALLY IS STEPPING OFF AND
DECIDING, 'I AM GOING TO PUT MY
00:05:01.26\00:05:05.80
WHOLE LIFE IN GOD'S HANDS
NO MATTER WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES
00:05:05.80\00:05:08.64
ARE. I AM GOING
TO TRUST HIM, IN HIS
00:05:08.64\00:05:11.14
WORD AND HIS PROMISES, TO
HOLD ME UP.' THE DEVIL WILL DO
00:05:11.14\00:05:15.41
EVERYTHING HE CAN TO FRIGHTEN
YOU FROM TAKING THAT STEP AND
00:05:15.41\00:05:18.88
SAYING, 'YOU'LL KILL
YOURSELF. ARE YOU CRAZY?
00:05:18.88\00:05:21.78
DON'T DO IT.' AND YOU HAVE
TO DECIDE, 'HAS GOD GIVEN ME
00:05:21.78\00:05:25.59
EVIDENCE ON WHICH TO BASE MY
FAITH?' I'D LIKE TO DIRECT YOUR
00:05:25.59\00:05:30.09
ATTENTION TO THE BOOK
OF NUMBERS CHAPTER 13.
00:05:30.09\00:05:33.33
WE'RE GOING TO TALK
ABOUT A FEW HEROES OF FAITH.
00:05:33.33\00:05:38.10
NUMBERS CHAPTER 13 - AND, JUST
TO GIVE YOU THE BACKGROUND, THE
00:05:38.10\00:05:42.00
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL - THEY'VE
COME OUT OF EGYPT, THEY WENT TO
00:05:42.00\00:05:44.81
MOUNT SINAI, GOT THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS, THEY BUILT THE
00:05:44.81\00:05:46.91
TABERNACLE, THEN THEY CAME UP
TO THE BORDERS OF THE PROMISED
00:05:46.91\00:05:49.91
LAND. IT WAS NEVER GOD'S PLAN
00:05:49.91\00:05:51.68
THAT THEY WANDER 40
YEARS. HE WAS GOING TO BRING
00:05:51.68\00:05:54.45
THEM IN THAT YEAR. THEY
GET TO THE BORDER OF THE
00:05:54.45\00:05:57.09
PROMISED LAND AND THEY
STARTED GETTING NERVOUS.
00:05:57.09\00:06:00.09
AND THEY SAID TO ONE ANOTHER,
'YOU KNOW, NONE OF OUR RELATES
00:06:00.09\00:06:02.76
HAVE BEEN HERE IN GENERATIONS.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.
00:06:02.76\00:06:05.83
IT WOULD PROBABLY BE A GOOD IDEA
TO SEND A RECONNAISSANCE TEAM -
00:06:05.83\00:06:08.76
SEND SOME SPIES
- CHECK THINGS OUT.
00:06:08.76\00:06:11.23
I MEAN, LET'S FIND OUT WHAT'S
REALLY GOING ON BEFORE WE JUST
00:06:11.23\00:06:13.64
GO BARGING OFF INTO THIS LAND WE
HAVEN'T BEEN TO FOR HUNDREDS OF
00:06:13.64\00:06:17.37
YEARS.' AND SO, AT THEIR
SUGGESTION AND PLEADING, GOD
00:06:17.37\00:06:22.54
AGREED. HE TOLD
MOSES, 'GO AHEAD, PICK
00:06:22.54\00:06:24.75
OUT TWELVE MEN THAT WILL SERVE
AS - THEY CALLED THEM 'SPIES'.
00:06:24.75\00:06:28.58
GO TO VERSE 17 - "THEN MOSES
SENT THEM TO SPY OUT THE LAND OF
00:06:28.58\00:06:32.22
CANAAN, AND SAID TO THEM, 'GO UP
THIS WAY INTO THE SOUTH, AND GO
00:06:32.22\00:06:36.56
UP TO THE MOUNTAINS, AND SEE
WHAT THE LAND IS LIKE: WHETHER
00:06:36.56\00:06:39.29
THE PEOPLE WHO DWELL IN IT
ARE STRONG OR WEAK, FEW OR MANY;
00:06:39.29\00:06:42.56
WHETHER THE LAND THEY DWELL
IN IS GOOD OR BAD; WHETHER THE
00:06:42.56\00:06:46.00
CITIES THEY INHABIT ARE LIKE
CAMPS OR STRONGHOLDS; WHETHER
00:06:46.00\00:06:49.34
THE LAND IS RICH OR POOR;" -
MEANING FERTILE OR SPARSE - "AND
00:06:49.34\00:06:53.27
WHETHER THERE ARE
FORESTS THERE OR NOT.
00:06:53.27\00:06:54.98
BE OF GOOD COURAGE." - HE'S
SAYING 'DON'T BE DISCOURAGED' -
00:06:54.98\00:06:58.48
"BE OF GOOD COURAGE. AND BRING
SOME OF THE FRUIT OF THE LAND."
00:06:58.48\00:07:02.08
WHY WERE THEY TO BRING SOME
OF THE FRUIT? TO ENCOURAGE THE
00:07:02.08\00:07:04.75
PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN EATING
NOTHING BUT MANNA FOR FORTY
00:07:04.75\00:07:07.02
YEARS - 'THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE GOT
TO LOOK FORWARD TO. PRESS ON.' -
00:07:07.02\00:07:10.53
"AND THEY WENT UP THROUGH
THE SOUTH AND CAME TO HEBRON;" -
00:07:10.53\00:07:13.29
HEBRON - THAT'S NEAR JERUSALEM
- "AHIMAN, SHESHAI, AND TALMAI,
00:07:13.29\00:07:17.80
THE DESCENDANTS OF ANAK, WERE
THERE." - ANAK WAS A VERY FAMOUS
00:07:17.80\00:07:21.34
GIANT KING - "THE DESCENDANTS
OF ANAK, WERE THERE."
00:07:21.34\00:07:27.34
- VERSE 23 - "THEN THEY CAME TO
THE VALLEY OF ESHCOL, AND THERE
00:07:27.34\00:07:31.08
CUT DOWN A BRANCH WITH ONE
CLUSTER OF GRAPES; THEY CARRIED
00:07:31.08\00:07:36.18
IT BETWEEN TWO
OF THEM ON A POLE."
00:07:36.18\00:07:39.02
NOW, WHEN IT TAKES TWO MEN
TO CARRY ONE CLUSTER OF GRAPES,
00:07:39.02\00:07:43.79
THAT EITHER MEANS ONE CLUSTER
HAS THOUSANDS OF GRAPES IN IT OR
00:07:43.79\00:07:48.36
IT HAS THE NORMAL NUMBER
OF GRAPES, BUT THE GRAPES ARE
00:07:48.36\00:07:50.77
EXTRAORDINARILY BIG. I
PREFER TO BELIEVE THE LATTER.
00:07:50.77\00:07:54.94
I WENT TO AUSTRALIA AND I
DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF GENETIC
00:07:54.94\00:07:57.47
MODIFICATION THEY DID THERE, BUT
SOMEBODY BROUGHT ME SOME GRAPES
00:07:57.47\00:08:00.14
AND I'M TELLING YOU, THEY WERE
ALL LIKE PLUMS - SERIOUS, THEY
00:08:00.14\00:08:03.71
WERE HUGE. COULD
IT BE THAT THE GRAPES
00:08:03.71\00:08:06.65
THERE IN THE PROMISED
LAND WERE JUST ENORMOUS?
00:08:06.65\00:08:10.52
YOU'LL FIND OUT THE PEOPLE WERE
ENORMOUS - WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN
00:08:10.52\00:08:15.46
- THAT'S THE REAL LAND
FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY.
00:08:15.46\00:08:17.86
I'LL INVITE YOU OVER TO MY HOUSE
FOR A GRAPE (LAUGHTER) BECAUSE -
00:08:17.86\00:08:21.20
THEN I'LL GIVE YOU A SPOON
AND WE'LL STEP INSIDE THE GRAPE.
00:08:21.20\00:08:25.33
EVERYTHING'S GOING TO
BE BIGGER AND BETTER THERE.
00:08:25.33\00:08:28.54
YOU KNOW, BY THE WAY, IF YOU GO
TO ISRAEL TODAY, THE LOGO THEY
00:08:28.54\00:08:32.27
USE FOR VISITING THE PROMISED
LAND IS A PICTURE OF TWO MEN
00:08:32.27\00:08:35.41
CARRYING ONE CLUSTER
OF GRAPES BETWEEN THEM.
00:08:35.41\00:08:38.18
SO THEN, AFTER LOOKING AT THE
LAND FOR FORTY DAYS - IN VERSE
00:08:38.18\00:08:41.75
25 - THEY RETURNED. BUT
YOU FIND OUT RIGHT AWAY THAT
00:08:41.75\00:08:45.75
THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN TEN OF THE SPIES AND
00:08:45.75\00:08:48.82
TWO OF THE SPIES. OUT
OF THE TWELVE, CALEB AND
00:08:48.82\00:08:53.09
JOSHUA, THEY WERE OPTIMISTIC.
AND AS THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THE
00:08:53.09\00:08:56.40
LAND, TEN OF THE SPIES LOOKED
AT THE WALLS OF JERICHO AND THEY
00:08:56.40\00:09:00.17
SAID, 'OH WOW, WILL YOU LOOK
AT THE WALLS? HOW WILWE EVER
00:09:00.17\00:09:04.21
CONQUER A CITY WITH WALLS LIKE
THAT? THAT IS AN IMPENETRABLE
00:09:04.21\00:09:08.04
FORTRESS.' AND CALEB
SAID, 'WOW, LOOK AT THE SPRINGS!
00:09:08.04\00:09:12.18
LOOK AT THE DATES!
LOOK AT THE POMEGRANATES!'
00:09:12.18\00:09:15.28
AND THEY WENT UP INTO THE
COUNTRY OF HEBRON AND THERE THEY
00:09:15.28\00:09:18.99
HAD ALL THE DESCENDANTS OF THE
ANAKIM - THE GIANTS - AND CALEB
00:09:18.99\00:09:24.13
SAID, 'WOW, LOOK AT
HOW RICH THE SOIL IS.
00:09:24.13\00:09:26.73
LOOK AT HOW BIG
THE VINEYARDS ARE.
00:09:26.73\00:09:28.20
LOOK AT HOW LUSH THE ORCHARDS
ARE - THE ABUNDANCE OF WATER.'
00:09:28.20\00:09:32.90
AND JOSHUA - AND THEY SAID,
'WOW, I CAN'T - I WANT MY HOUSE
00:09:32.90\00:09:36.20
HERE.' 'NO, I
WANT MY HOUSE HERE.
00:09:36.20\00:09:37.37
LOOK AT' - AND
THEY WERE SO EXCITED.
00:09:37.37\00:09:39.21
AND TEN OF THEM WERE
SAYING, 'ARE YOU KIDDING?
00:09:39.21\00:09:40.38
LOOK AT THOSE
GUYS. HOW CAN WE EVER
00:09:40.38\00:09:42.91
CONQUER PEOPLE SO BIG?'
AND ON AND ON IT WENT FOR FORTY
00:09:42.91\00:09:47.12
DAYS AS THEY WENT THROUGH
THE LAND - JOSHUA AND CALEB ARE
00:09:47.12\00:09:50.25
TAKING NOTES AND
GETTING SO EXCITED, BUT TEN OF
00:09:50.25\00:09:52.25
THEM ARE GOING, 'OH ME. OH MY.
00:09:52.25\00:09:55.42
HOW ARE WE EVER
GOING TO DO THIS?
00:09:55.42\00:09:57.13
THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. WHY
DID WE EVER LEAVE EGYPT?
00:09:57.13\00:09:59.69
WE CAN NEVER
CONQUER ALL THESE NATIONS.'
00:09:59.69\00:10:02.50
AND ALL THEY SAW
WERE THE OBSTACLES.
00:10:02.50\00:10:04.97
NOW, THERE WERE OBSTACLES, BUT
THEY FORGOT WHO HAD BEEN LEADING
00:10:04.97\00:10:09.04
THEM THIS FAR. >>AMEN.
00:10:09.04\00:10:11.27
>>AND THAT HE WOULD BE
ABLE TO LEAD THEM ALL THE WAY.
00:10:11.27\00:10:13.51
SO WHEN THEY FINALLY GET BACK
TO MOSES AND THE REST OF THE
00:10:13.51\00:10:15.88
CONGREGATION THAT HAD BEEN
WAITING ANXIOUSLY FOR THEIR
00:10:15.88\00:10:18.08
RETURN AND THEIR REPORT, CALEB
AND JOSHUA SAID, 'WE BETTER
00:10:18.08\00:10:22.05
OUTRUN THESE GUYS OR THEY'RE
GOING TO SET THE WRONG TONE.
00:10:22.05\00:10:25.65
WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE. WE
WANT TO INSPIRE.' AND SO,
00:10:25.65\00:10:29.26
EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE CARRYING
A BIG CLUSTER OF GRAPES - I'M
00:10:29.26\00:10:32.86
JUST - I DON'T KNOW THAT, BUT
I ALWAYS PICTURE IT'S JOSHUA AND
00:10:32.86\00:10:35.16
CALEB THAT WERE SO EXCITED
THEY CARRIED THE GRAPES AND THEY
00:10:35.16\00:10:38.60
PROBABLY HAD THEIR POCKETS FULL
OF POMELOS AND DATES AND RAISINS
00:10:38.60\00:10:42.34
AND ALL THE
DIFFERENT FRUIT OF THE LAND.
00:10:42.34\00:10:44.54
THEY PROBABLY HAD A CLOUD OF
FRUIT FLIES FOLLOWING THEM AS
00:10:44.54\00:10:46.94
THEY CAME, BECAUSE THEY HAD TO
CARRY THOSE GRAPES QUITE A WAYS.
00:10:46.94\00:10:50.85
AND THEY OUTRAN
THE OTHER TEN SPIES.
00:10:50.85\00:10:54.52
YOU CAN SEE IN VERSE 27 - THEY
CAME TO THE CONGREGATION AND
00:10:54.52\00:10:57.69
THEY SHOWED THEM THE FRUIT OF
THE LAND AND THEY TOLD THEM AND
00:10:57.69\00:11:00.49
SAID, 'WE WENT TO
THELAND WHERE YOU SENT US.
00:11:00.49\00:11:02.79
IT TRULY FLOWS WITH MILK AND
HONEY, AND THIS IS ITS FRUIT.'
00:11:02.79\00:11:06.86
AND I CAN SEE THEM - THEY'RE
TAKING A GRAPE AND THEY'RE
00:11:06.86\00:11:08.93
SAYING, 'HEADS UP!' AND
THEY'RE THROWING THE GRAPE
00:11:08.93\00:11:11.17
AND THEY THROW ANOTHER GRAPE
AND SAY, 'HERE'S SOME DATES!'
00:11:11.17\00:11:13.80
AND THEY STICK IT TO THEM AND
THEY'RE JUST THROWING THE - AND
00:11:13.80\00:11:16.37
EVERYONE'S GOING, 'OOOH, AAAH!'
AND THE PEOPLE ARE SO EXCITED.
00:11:16.37\00:11:18.91
BUT THEN THE OTHER
TEN SPIES CAUGHT UP.
00:11:18.91\00:11:21.04
NOTICE HOW QUICKLY
THE CONVERSATION CHANGES.
00:11:21.04\00:11:24.11
IT BEGINS WITH FLOWING WITH
FRUIT AND HONEY AND THEN TEN OF
00:11:24.11\00:11:27.28
THEM SAY, 'NEVERTHELESS, THE
PEOPLE WHO DWELL IN THE LAND ARE
00:11:27.28\00:11:30.35
STRONG AND THE CITIES
ARE FORTIFIED AND VERY LARGE.
00:11:30.35\00:11:35.66
HOW WOULD WE EVER
CONQUER THE WALLS OF JERICHO?'
00:11:35.66\00:11:37.69
- WELL, WE FOUND OUT, DIDN'T WE?
AND IT SAYS, "MOREOVER, WE SAW
00:11:37.69\00:11:43.16
THE DESCENDANTS OF ANAK THERE."
THERE WAS STILL LEFTOVER - A
00:11:43.16\00:11:47.67
WHOLE RACE OF GIANTS - "AND THE
AMALEKITES DWELL IN THE LAND OF
00:11:47.67\00:11:51.37
THE SOUTH; THE HITTITES,
THE JEBUSITES, AND THE AMORITES
00:11:51.37\00:11:54.81
DWELL IN THE MOUNTAINS; AND
THE CANAANITES DWELL BY THE SEA"
00:11:54.81\00:11:58.98
- AND THERE'S TERMITES AND
GIGABYTES AND ALL THESE -ITES -
00:11:58.98\00:12:01.48
AND ALL THEY COULD THINK ABOUT
WAS ALL OF THE PROBLEMS THAT
00:12:01.48\00:12:04.59
THEY WERE GOING
TO HAVE IN THE LAND.
00:12:04.59\00:12:08.86
AND THE PEOPLE BEGAN TO MOAN
AND THEY GRABBED THEIR FACES AND
00:12:08.86\00:12:11.49
SAID, 'ME OH MY,
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
00:12:11.49\00:12:13.26
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?
WHY DID WE LEAVE EGYPT?'
00:12:13.26\00:12:15.60
AND IT SAYS - YOU CAN TELL THAT
BECAUSE VERSE 30, "THEN CALEB
00:12:15.60\00:12:18.50
QUIETED THE PEOPLE BEFORE MOSES,
AND SAID, 'LET US GO UP AT ONCE
00:12:18.50\00:12:24.24
AND TAKE POSSESSION, FOR WE
ARE WELL ABLE TO OVERCOME IT."
00:12:24.24\00:12:29.31
>>AMEN. >>NOW,
I'VE UNDERLINED THAT IN
00:12:29.31\00:12:31.98
MY BIBLE - WE ARE WELL ABLE -
THEN YOU GET THE OPPOSITE REPORT
00:12:31.98\00:12:36.02
FROM THE OTHER SPIES: "BUT
THE MEN WHO HAD GONE UP WITH HIM
00:12:36.02\00:12:38.49
SAID, 'WE ARE NOT ABLE
TO GO UP" - SO WHO ARE YOU
00:12:38.49\00:12:41.52
GOING TO BELIEVE?
THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WHO TELL
00:12:41.52\00:12:44.56
YOU THAT YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO
MAKE IT TO THE PROMISED LAND AND
00:12:44.56\00:12:47.30
THEN THERE WILL BE PEOPLE
WHO TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE.
00:12:47.30\00:12:49.96
AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE - JESUS
SAID 'BE IT UNTO YOU ACCORDING
00:12:49.96\00:12:53.20
TO YOUR FAITH.' IF YOU BELIEVE,
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
00:12:53.20\00:12:57.44
VERSE 32 - "AND THEY GAVE THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL A BAD REPORT
00:12:57.44\00:13:01.64
OF THE LAND WHICH THEY HAD SPIED
OUT, SAYING, 'THE LAND THROUGH
00:13:01.64\00:13:05.15
WHICH WE HAVE GONE AS
SPIES IS A LAND THAT DEVOURS ITS
00:13:05.15\00:13:08.28
INHABITANTS, AND ALL THE PEOPLE
WHOM WE SAW IN IT ARE MEN OF
00:13:08.28\00:13:11.15
GREAT STATURE. THERE
WE SAW THE GIANTS (THE
00:13:11.15\00:13:14.46
DESCENDANTS OF ANAK CAME FROM
THE GIANTS); AND WE WERE LIKE
00:13:14.46\00:13:18.13
GRASSHOPPERS IN OUR OWN SIGHT,
AND SO WE WERE IN THEIR SIGHT.'"
00:13:18.13\00:13:22.46
SO THEY SAW US AND THEN
WE LOOKED LIKE GRASSHOPPERS.
00:13:22.46\00:13:25.33
NOW, JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF
WHAT THEY WERE DEALING WITH BACK
00:13:25.33\00:13:29.54
THEN, WE JUST SO HAPPEN TO HAVE
ONE OF THE GIANTS HERE TONIGHT
00:13:29.54\00:13:34.01
THAT'S GOING TO HELP US
OUT. AND TO HELP ILLUSTRATE
00:13:34.01\00:13:36.44
(LAUGHTER) SO WE REALLY
APPRECIATE AARON COMING.
00:13:36.44\00:13:43.02
AARON IS A DESCENDANT OF
ANAK (LAUGHTER) NOW GOLIATH, THE
00:13:43.02\00:13:48.66
BIBLE SAYS - PEOPLE
SOMETIMES TELL ME I'M SHORT.
00:13:48.66\00:13:52.23
I'M NOT REALLY SHORT, I'M
JUST CONCENTRATED. (LAUGHTER)
00:13:52.23\00:13:56.60
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT GOLIATH
WAS NINE AND A HALF FEET.
00:13:56.60\00:14:00.10
THIS IS NOT EVEN NINE AND A
HALF FEET - BUT WE DIDN'T WANHIM
00:14:00.10\00:14:03.14
GOING ANY HIGHER FOR INSURANCE
CONCERNS (LAUGHTER) THAN THIS.
00:14:03.14\00:14:07.21
NOW, IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO
AGAINST A WHOLE NATION OF PEOPLE
00:14:07.21\00:14:10.68
THAT ARE THIS TALL,
WOULD THAT MAKE YOU NERVOUS?
00:14:10.68\00:14:14.78
IT'D BE HARD TO GO AGAINST A
NATION OF GIANTS, WOULDN'T IT?
00:14:14.78\00:14:18.62
GIVE HIM A HAND.
WE APPRECIATE THAT.
00:14:18.62\00:14:20.59
(CLAPPING) I WANTED TO DO
IT BUT THEY TOLD ME I COULDN'T.
00:14:20.59\00:14:28.50
I STILL WOULDN'T
HAVE BEEN TALL ENOUGH.
00:14:28.50\00:14:33.00
WE FELT LIKE
GRASSHOPPERS IN OUR SIGHT.
00:14:33.00\00:14:37.61
YOU KNOW WHY THEY
COULDN'T TAKE ON THE GIANTS?
00:14:37.61\00:14:40.54
BECAUSE THEY WERE
THINKING LIKE GRASSHOPPERS.
00:14:40.54\00:14:43.48
BECAUSE THEY DID NOT BELIEVE -
THE PEOPLE THAT DID NOT BELIEVE
00:14:43.48\00:14:48.85
DID NOT MAKE IT.
NOW JOSHUA AND CALEB,
00:14:48.85\00:14:52.22
THEY DID NOT LOSE
FAITH. THEY DID BELIEVE.
00:14:52.22\00:14:56.76
AND IF YOU GO TO JOSHUA - THE
BOOK OF JOSHUA, CHAPTER 14 - I
00:14:56.76\00:15:03.40
WANT TO GIVE YOU A
FOLLOW UP. WE NEED TO FAST
00:15:03.40\00:15:05.40
FORWARD 40 YEARS NOW. GO
TO VERSE 6 - JOSHUA 14, VERSE
00:15:05.40\00:15:10.44
6 - "THEN THE CHILDREN OF
JUDAH CAME TO JOSHUA IN GILGAL.
00:15:10.44\00:15:17.68
AND CALEB THE SON OF JEPHUNNEH
THE KENIZZITE SAID TO HIM: 'YOU
00:15:17.68\00:15:21.48
KNOW THE WORD WHICH THE LORD
SAID TO MOSES THE MAN OF GOD
00:15:21.48\00:15:24.85
CONCERNING YOU AND ME IN KADESH
BARNEA." - LISTEN TO THE COURAGE
00:15:24.85\00:15:28.16
OF CALEB - "NOW THEREFORE, GIVE
ME THIS MOUNTAIN" - YOU KNOW
00:15:28.16\00:15:31.76
WHICH MOUNTAIN HE'S TALKING
ABOUT? THE MOUNTAINS OF HEBRON.
00:15:31.76\00:15:35.50
THE MOUNTAINS WHERE THE ANAKIM
LIVED - THE MOUNTAINS WHERE THE
00:15:35.50\00:15:38.20
GIANTS WERE - BECAUSE AS THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL CROSSED OVER
00:15:38.20\00:15:40.84
AND THEY BEGAN TO CONQUER THE
DIFFERENT LANDS, EVERYONE KIND
00:15:40.84\00:15:45.04
OF WAITED FOR THE
COUNTRY OF THE GIANTS.
00:15:45.04\00:15:48.08
THEY SAID, 'WE'RE NOT GOING
THERE RIGHT AWAY.' AND CALEB
00:15:48.08\00:15:50.25
SAID, 'THAT'S SOME
OF THE BEST COUNTRY.
00:15:50.25\00:15:52.08
THAT'S WHY THE GIANTS TOOK IT.
THAT'S WHERE I WANT TO GO.' AND
00:15:52.08\00:15:55.35
HE SAID, 'JOSHUA, LET ME
AND MY CLAN TAKE ON THE GIANTS.
00:15:55.35\00:16:00.06
I KNOW I'M 85, BUT I BELIEVE WE
CAN DO IT, BECAUSE IF GOD'S WI
00:16:00.06\00:16:02.62
US, WE'LL BE VICTORIOUS. >>AMEN.
00:16:02.62\00:16:05.53
>>AND RIGHT NOW, IF YOU GO TO
THE PROMISED LAND AND YOU LOOK
00:16:05.53\00:16:08.26
AT THE TERRITORY WITH THE - THE
WORD 'JEW' - THE WORD 'JEW' IS
00:16:08.26\00:16:12.27
DIFFERENT FROM THE HEBREWS
AND ALL OF THE ISRAELITES.
00:16:12.27\00:16:14.74
TEN OF THE
TRIBES GOT CARRIED AWAY.
00:16:14.74\00:16:16.47
THE CHILDREN OF JUDAH ARE THE
JEWS - THAT, SORT OF, HAS BECOME
00:16:16.47\00:16:21.91
A WORD TO TALK ABOUT THE
REMNANTS OF ISRAEL, BUT BECAUSE
00:16:21.91\00:16:26.01
OF CALEB'S FAITH, THE REASON
THAT THE LAND OF JERUSALEM AND
00:16:26.01\00:16:29.88
JUDAH IS IN THAT SOUTHERN
TERRITORY RIGHT NOW IS BECAUSE
00:16:29.88\00:16:33.09
OF AN OLD MAN THAT BELIEVED
HE COULD TAKE ON GIANTS.
00:16:33.09\00:16:36.69
>>AMEN. >>AND HE
DID. SO WHAT IS THE
00:16:36.69\00:16:40.50
GIANT THAT WE NEED TO FIGHT?
WHAT'S THE BATTLE WE ALL HAVE?
00:16:40.50\00:16:47.97
THE DEVIL AND SIN, ISN'T
IT? THE WHOLE BIBLE - I TOLD YOU
00:16:47.97\00:16:50.54
OPENING NIGHT - IS
ABOUT SIN AND SALVATION.
00:16:50.54\00:16:53.04
I'M GOING TO GO TO THE BEST
GIANT STORY IN THE BIBLE RIGHT
00:16:53.04\00:16:55.34
NOW, IF YOU WANT TO JOIN ME AND
TURN TO THE FIRST BOOK OF SAMUEL
00:16:55.34\00:16:59.75
- 1 SAMUEL CHAPTER 18 - CHAPTER
17, VERSE 1, "THE PHILISTINES
00:16:59.75\00:17:06.39
GATHERED THEIR ARMIES TOGETHER
TO BATTLE, AND WERE GATHERED AT
00:17:06.39\00:17:10.56
SOCHOH, WHICH BELONGS TO JUDAH;
THEY ENCAMPED BETWEEN SOCHOH AND
00:17:10.56\00:17:14.73
AZEKAH, IN EPHES DAMMIM.
AND SAUL AND THE MEN OF ISRAEL
00:17:14.73\00:17:18.53
WERE GATHERED TOGETHER, AND THEY
ENCAMPED IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH,
00:17:18.53\00:17:21.37
AND DREW UP IN BATTLE
ARRAY AGAINST THE PHILISTINES.
00:17:21.37\00:17:24.31
THE PHILISTINES STOOD ON A
MOUNTAIN ON ONE SIDE, AND ISRAEL
00:17:24.31\00:17:29.48
STOOD ON A MOUNTAIN ON THE OTHER
SIDE, WITH A VALLEY BETWEEN
00:17:29.48\00:17:32.08
THEM. AND A
CHAMPION WENT OUT FROM THE
00:17:32.08\00:17:35.02
CAMP OF THE PHILISTINES, NAMED
GOLIATH, FROM GATH, WHOSE HEIGHT
00:17:35.02\00:17:39.65
WAS SIX CUBITS AND A SPAN."
AND A SHIELD-BEARER AND AN
00:17:39.65\00:17:43.86
ARMOR-BEARER WENT BEFORE HIM.
"THEN HE STOOD AND CRIED OUT TO
00:17:43.86\00:17:46.53
THE ARMIES OF ISRAEL, AND
SAID TO THEM, 'WHY HAVE YOU COME
00:17:46.53\00:17:49.63
OUT TO LINE UP FOR BATTLE?
AM I NOT A PHILISTINE, AND
00:17:49.63\00:17:52.80
YOU THE SERVANTS OF SAUL?
CHOOSE A MAN FOR YOURSELVES,
00:17:52.80\00:17:56.14
AND LET HIM COME DOWN TO ME.
IF HE IS ABLE TO FIGHT WITH ME
00:17:56.14\00:17:58.67
AND KILL ME, THEN WE
WILL BE YOUR SERVANTS.
00:17:58.67\00:18:01.21
BUT IF I PREVAIL AGAINST HIM AND
KILL HIM, THEN YOU SHALL BE OUR
00:18:01.21\00:18:04.18
SERVANTS AND SERVE US.' AND
THE PHILISTINE SAID, 'I DEFY THE
00:18:04.18\00:18:08.65
ARMIES OF ISRAEL THIS DAY; GIVE
ME A MAN, THAT WE MAY FIGHT'" -
00:18:08.65\00:18:12.12
IN OTHER WORDS, THE WHOLE BATTLE
BETWEEN THE TWO NATIONS IS GOING
00:18:12.12\00:18:15.22
TO PIVOT UPON MAN ON MAN
CONFLICT - AND HE THROWS DOWN
00:18:15.22\00:18:21.20
THE GAUNTLET AND HE STANDS
OUT THERE LIKE A LOOMING REDWOOD
00:18:21.20\00:18:24.43
TREE. AND DAY
AFTER DAY - THEY HAD,
00:18:24.43\00:18:29.34
PROBABLY, LITTLE SKIRMISHES
ALONG THE CREEK WHERE THEY WERE
00:18:29.34\00:18:32.37
LINED UP - DAY AFTER DAY GOLIATH
CAME THUNDERING DOWN AND ALL THE
00:18:32.37\00:18:36.88
MEN OF ISRAEL
FLED BACK FROM HIM.
00:18:36.88\00:18:40.02
AND HE GOT MORE BOLD IN HIS
INSULTING THE GOD OF ISRAEL AND
00:18:40.02\00:18:43.52
CHALLENGING THEM. 'SEND
ME A MAN. SEND ME A MAN!'
00:18:43.52\00:18:47.42
AND THEN, ABOUT THAT TIME,
JESSE, WHO HAD HIS OTHER SONS
00:18:47.42\00:18:50.76
ALL FIGHTING IN THE BATTLE
EXCEPT FOR THE YOUNGEST, WHO WAS
00:18:50.76\00:18:53.03
TAKING CARE OF THE SHEEP.
HIS FATHER SENT HIM TO BRING
00:18:53.03\00:18:56.60
SOME PROVISIONS AND WHEN DAVID
CAME - THE VERY DAY THAT HE CAME
00:18:56.60\00:19:02.37
AND HE'S GIVING PROVISIONS TO
HIS BROTHERS AND THEIR GENERALS
00:19:02.37\00:19:05.54
- THEY - YOU KNOW, THEY
HAD TO FEED THE ARMY EVERY DAY
00:19:05.54\00:19:08.58
- IT WAS QUITE A TASK.
THAT'S RIGHT WHEN GOLIATH
00:19:08.58\00:19:12.28
DECIDED TO MARCH OUT
AND ISSUE HIS CHALLENGE.
00:19:12.28\00:19:14.88
AND DAVID, YOU KNOW, THEY DIDN'T
HAVE INTERNET - HE DIDN'T KNOW
00:19:14.88\00:19:16.45
WHAT WAS GOING ON. AND
HE HEARD GOLIATH CHALLENGING
00:19:16.45\00:19:20.82
THE ARMIES OF ISRAEL AND HE
WAS TAUNTING AND HE WAS MOCKING.
00:19:20.82\00:19:25.79
HE WAS SAYING THE GOD OF ISRAEL
IS WEAK - CAN'T PRODUCE ONE
00:19:25.79\00:19:28.16
SOLDIER - AND THE BLOOD
CAME UP INTO DAVID'S FACE AND HE
00:19:28.16\00:19:33.40
COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT NOBODY
- HE'S LOOKING AROUND SAYING,
00:19:33.40\00:19:35.84
'WHO'S GOING TO TAKE HIM ON?
00:19:35.84\00:19:36.87
HOW LONG HAS
THIS BEEN HAPPENING?'
00:19:36.87\00:19:38.67
'FORTY DAYS NOW.'
'NOBODY HAS TAKEN HIM UP?
00:19:38.67\00:19:41.28
DOESN'T ANYBODY BELIEVE THAT
GOD CAN HELP THEM BEAT THIS GUY?
00:19:41.28\00:19:45.21
IS GOD WITH US OR
IS GOD WITH THEM?'
00:19:45.21\00:19:47.88
THEY SAID, 'WELL, DON'T
YOU SEE HOW TALL HE IS?'
00:19:47.88\00:19:49.55
'WHO CARES HOW TALL
HE IS? IS GOD WITH US OR
00:19:49.55\00:19:51.19
IS GOD WITH HIM?'
IS JESUS WITH YOU?
00:19:51.19\00:19:55.16
>>AMEN. >>HOW DO
YOU KNOW? BECAUSE HE
00:19:55.16\00:19:57.63
SAID, 'LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS,
EVEN UNTO THE END.' SO WHEN
00:19:57.63\00:20:03.47
TEMPTATION COMES, YOU TAKE
YOUR SWORD - 'THE WORD OF GOD IS
00:20:03.47\00:20:07.40
QUICK AND POWERFUL AND SHARPER
THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD.'
00:20:07.40\00:20:10.97
AND YOU STAND BACK TO BACK
WITH JESUS AND YOU MIGHT HAVE TO
00:20:10.97\00:20:14.61
FIGHT, BUT YOU WILL NEVER LOSE
BECAUSE 'GREATER IS HE THAT IS
00:20:14.61\00:20:19.71
IN YOU THAN HE
THAT IS IN THE WORLD.'
00:20:19.71\00:20:21.32
>>AMEN. >>ARE YOU
AWARE THAT YOU AND
00:20:21.32\00:20:23.22
GOD ALWAYS MAKE
A MAJORITY? >>AMEN.
00:20:23.22\00:20:26.02
>>ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:20:26.02\00:20:27.86
>>YEAH. >>SO
DAVID, HE WAS OUTRAGED.
00:20:27.86\00:20:32.63
FINALLY HE MAKES SUCH A RUCKUS
THEY SAY, 'YOU KNOW,' - THEY
00:20:32.63\00:20:35.83
TELL THE KING, 'THERE'S THIS
YOUNG MAN IN THE CAMP THAT'S
00:20:35.83\00:20:38.80
TALKING ABOUT HE'LL TAKE ON
THE GIANT.' THE KING'S DESPERATE
00:20:38.80\00:20:41.10
NOW. HE SAID, 'BRING HIM TO
ME.' AND DAVID COMES AND THE
00:20:41.10\00:20:44.47
KING SAYS - HE SIZES HIM UP -
AND DAVID MAY HAVE BEEN 18 TO 20
00:20:44.47\00:20:48.04
THEN. I KNOW, WE ALWAYS
PICTURE DAVID AS A LITTLE BOY.
00:20:48.04\00:20:50.31
THAT MAKES FOR GOOD
STORY TELLING IN THE YOUNGER
00:20:50.31\00:20:52.28
DIVISIONS, BUT IN REALITY HE
WAS PROBABLY 18 TO 20 YEARS OLD.
00:20:52.28\00:20:56.75
YOU WEREN'T CONSIDERED
A MAN UNTIL YOU WERE 30.
00:20:56.75\00:20:59.05
BUT HE'S STILL A STRIPLING.
HE'S NOT EVEN FILLED OUT YET.
00:20:59.05\00:21:02.92
AND HE SAID, 'YOU'RE
GOING TO GO AGAINST HIM?'
00:21:02.92\00:21:05.43
HE SAID, 'HE'S BEEN A MAN OF WAR
SINCE HIS YOUTH AND YOU'RE JUST
00:21:05.43\00:21:07.50
A YOUTH.' NOW LISTEN TO DAVID'S
ANSWER: "BUT DAVID SAID TO SAUL,
00:21:07.50\00:21:12.13
YOUR SERVANT USED TO KEEP HIS
FATHER'S SHEEP, AND WHEN A LION
00:21:12.13\00:21:15.94
OR A BEAR CAME AND TOOK A LAMB
OUT OF THE FLOCK, I WENT OUT
00:21:15.94\00:21:19.07
AFTER IT AND STRUCK IT,
AND DELIVERED THE LAMB FROM ITS
00:21:19.07\00:21:23.65
MOUTH;" - I'M SO THANKFUL THAT
JESUS WILL FIGHT FOR HIS LAMBS,
00:21:23.65\00:21:26.95
WON'T HE? >>AMEN.
00:21:26.95\00:21:28.42
>>"AND WHEN IT AROSE AGAINST ME,
I CAUGHT IT BY ITS BEARD, AND
00:21:28.42\00:21:32.55
STRUCK AND KILLED IT." IT
DOESN'T SAY HE KILLED IT WITH
00:21:32.55\00:21:34.49
HIS SLING, HE TOOK IT
WITH HIS SHEPHERD'S STAFF AND
00:21:34.49\00:21:37.19
BLUDGEONED THE THING. AND
DAVID SAID, 'I DID IT WITH A
00:21:37.19\00:21:39.63
BEAR AND I DID IT WITH A LION.'
AND SO WHAT HE'S SAYING TO SAUL
00:21:39.63\00:21:43.70
IS 'THE REASON I HAVE FAITH
THAT I CAN TAKE ON THE GIANT IS
00:21:43.70\00:21:47.17
BASED ON EVIDENCE
FROM PAST EXPERIENCE.
00:21:47.17\00:21:51.07
THIS IS HOW IT WORKS
IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE.
00:21:51.07\00:21:53.11
WHEN YOU START PRAYING AND GOD
STARTS ANSWERING YOUR PRAYERS,
00:21:53.11\00:21:56.44
YOU START TAKING STEPS OF FAITH
AND SAY, 'LORD, I DON'T KNOW HOW
00:21:56.44\00:21:58.75
I'M GOING TO CHANGE THIS
BEHAVIOR.' BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,
00:21:58.75\00:22:01.25
THAT'S THE REAL BATTLE,
IS CHARACTER TRANSFORMATION.
00:22:01.25\00:22:03.75
'I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GOING
TO DO THIS, LORD, BUT WITH YOUR
00:22:03.75\00:22:05.59
HELP. PLEASE, HELP ME.
00:22:05.59\00:22:06.79
PLEASE, FORGIVE ME.'
AND THEN WE SEE VICTORY.
00:22:06.79\00:22:08.76
'WOW, LORD, HOW ABOUT
THIS? AND HOW ABOUT THIS?'
00:22:08.76\00:22:12.16
AND WHAT'S HAPPENING IS ALL THE
WHILE YOUR FAITH KEEPS GETTING
00:22:12.16\00:22:15.23
BIGGER BASED ON PAST EVIDENCE.
FAITH IS NOT JUST BLINDLY
00:22:15.23\00:22:18.90
BELIEVING, FAITH IS
BELIEVING IN THE EVIDENCE THAT
00:22:18.90\00:22:21.90
GOD HAS GIVEN YOU. >>AMEN.
00:22:21.90\00:22:23.61
>>'I BELIEVE THE GOD THAT HELPED
ME KILL THE LION AND KILL THE
00:22:23.61\00:22:25.71
BEAR CAN HELP ME KILL THE
GIANT.' THAT'S A - HE SAID, 'LET
00:22:25.71\00:22:31.28
ME GO WITH WHAT I'M USED TO.'
DAVID WALKS DOWN, LEAVES THE
00:22:31.28\00:22:37.35
ARMY - THE ARMY OF THE
PHILISTINES ARE WATCHING AND
00:22:37.35\00:22:39.89
THEY SEE SOMEONE'S COMING
OUT BY THEMSELVES FROM THE ARMY,
00:22:39.89\00:22:44.56
WALKING DIRECTLY TOWARDS
THE PHILISTINE ARMY ON THE OTHER
00:22:44.56\00:22:47.66
SIDE OF THE HILL. AND
THEY GO, 'WHAT'S HE UP TO?
00:22:47.66\00:22:50.43
IS HE BRINGING A
MESSAGE? ARE THEY SURRENDERING?
00:22:50.43\00:22:53.37
IS HE GOING TO
ANNOUNCE WHO THEIR WARRIOR IS?'
00:22:53.37\00:22:56.07
AND HE STOPS AT THE BROOK AND
HE STARTS TO FEEL AROUND IN THE
00:22:56.07\00:22:59.01
BROOK IN BETWEEN THE TWO HILLS
AND HE PICKS OUT FIVE STONES AND
00:22:59.01\00:23:01.81
STICKS THEM IN HIS SHEPHERD'S
POUCH, AND HE STARTS WALKING UP
00:23:01.81\00:23:05.51
THE HILL. AND THEY
REALIZE HE'S COME TO
00:23:05.51\00:23:07.92
TAKE ON GOLIATH'S CHALLENGE.
GOLIATH MARCHES OUT TO MEET HIM
00:23:07.92\00:23:13.25
AND HE'S - HE CAN'T BELIEVE
IT. YEAH, HE SAYS, "AND WHEN THE
00:23:13.25\00:23:19.03
PHILISTINE LOOKED ABOUT" -
VERSE 42 - "AND SAW DAVID, HE
00:23:19.03\00:23:22.20
DISDAINED HIM; FOR HE WAS ONLY A
YOUTH, RUDDY AND GOOD-LOOKING."
00:23:22.20\00:23:25.77
WOULD'VE BEEN OKAY IF HE WAS AT
LEAST UGLY, BUT HE'S A CUTE KID.
00:23:25.77\00:23:29.97
"SO THE PHILISTINE SAID TO
DAVID, 'AM I A DOG, THAT YOU
00:23:29.97\00:23:32.71
COME TO ME WITH STICKS?'"
- HE'S GOT HIS SHEPHERD'S
00:23:32.71\00:23:34.41
STAFF AND HE'S GOT A SLING.
AND HE GETS SO MAD HE REALIZES
00:23:34.41\00:23:38.51
WHAT SAUL'S UP TO - IT'S A PR
STUNT. "AND THE PHILISTINE SAID
00:23:38.51\00:23:42.32
TO DAVID, 'COME TO ME, AND
I WILL GIVE YOUR FLESH TO THE
00:23:42.32\00:23:44.45
BIRDS OF THE AIR AND
THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD!'
00:23:44.45\00:23:46.82
THEN DAVID SAID TO THE
PHILISTINE, 'YOU COME TO ME WITH
00:23:46.82\00:23:50.99
A SWORD, WITH A
SPEAR, AND WITH A JAVELIN.
00:23:50.99\00:23:53.56
BUT I COME TO YOU IN THE NAME
OF THE LORD OF HOSTS, THE GOD OF
00:23:53.56\00:23:56.20
THE ARMIES OF
ISRAEL, WHOM YOU HAVE DEFIED.
00:23:56.20\00:23:58.83
THIS DAY THE LORD WILL DELIVER
YOU INTO MY HAND, AND I WILL
00:23:58.83\00:24:03.41
STRIKE YOU AND
TAKE YOUR HEAD FROM YOU.
00:24:03.41\00:24:06.01
AND THIS DAY I WILL GIVE
THE CARCASSES OF THE CAMP OF THE
00:24:06.01\00:24:08.31
PHILISTINES TO THE BIRDS OF THE
AIR AND THE WILD BEASTS OF THE
00:24:08.31\00:24:11.55
EARTH, THAT ALL THE EARTH
MAY KNOW THAT THERE IS A GOD IN
00:24:11.55\00:24:14.62
ISRAEL.'" >>AMEN.
00:24:14.62\00:24:16.38
>>EVERYBODY WAS LOOKING AT
HOW BIG THE GIANT WAS, BUT DAVID
00:24:16.38\00:24:18.89
WASN'T. HE WAS
LOOKING AT HOW BIG GOD WAS.
00:24:18.89\00:24:20.96
>>AMEN. >>HE SAID,
'YOU COME AGAINST ME
00:24:20.96\00:24:22.59
WITH A SWORD AND A SPEAR AND
A SHIELD' - YEAH, YOU HAVE THOSE
00:24:22.59\00:24:25.26
THINGS, HE SAID, 'BUT I'VE GOT
GOD WITH ME.' "SO IT WAS, WHEN
00:24:25.26\00:24:31.13
THE PHILISTINE AROSE AND CAME
AND DREW NEAR TO MEET DAVID,
00:24:31.13\00:24:35.30
THAT DAVID
HURRIED AND RAN TOWARD THE
00:24:35.30\00:24:37.27
ARMY TO MEET THE PHILISTINE."
NOW, I'M ALWAYS AMAZED
00:24:37.27\00:24:39.74
BY A COUPLE OF
THINGS. ONE IS, I'M AMAZED AT
00:24:39.74\00:24:41.54
THE AUDACITY OF DAVID.
YOU THINK IF YOU'RE GOING TO
00:24:41.54\00:24:43.48
FIGHT A GIANT, DON'T MAKE
HIM MAD AND INSULT HIM FIRST.
00:24:43.48\00:24:46.35
RIGHT? DAVID DIDN'T
CARE. HE SPOKE BOLDLY.
00:24:46.35\00:24:50.75
GOD SPOKE THROUGH HIM.
AND THE OTHER THING, IF YOU'RE
00:24:50.75\00:24:53.69
GOING TO FIGHT A GIANT AND THE
GIANT IS WALKING DOWN TO MEET
00:24:53.69\00:24:55.92
YOU, WOULD YOU RUN TO MEET HIM?
WOULD YOU RUN TO FIGHT A GIANT?
00:24:55.92\00:25:01.46
DAVID WAS ABSOLUTELY FEARLESS
BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT THE LORD
00:25:01.46\00:25:04.93
WAS WITH HIM AND HE ALSO KNEW
FROM HIS BROTHERS, THAT WERE ALL
00:25:04.93\00:25:08.37
SOLDIERS, THERE'S SOMETHING
CALLED THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE.
00:25:08.37\00:25:11.94
WHEN GOLIATH SAW THAT THEY
HAD BROUGHT DOWN A KID TO FIGHT
00:25:11.94\00:25:15.54
AGAINST HIM, HE WAS SO OUTRAGED
- MAYBE IT WAS A HOT DAY - HE
00:25:15.54\00:25:19.41
PUSHED BACK HIS HELMET - BECAUSE
THE BIBLE SAID HE HAD A HELMET
00:25:19.41\00:25:21.75
ON - PROBABLY HIS FOREHEAD HAD
BEEN PROTECTED - BUT HE PUSHED
00:25:21.75\00:25:24.69
IT BACK AND DAVID SAID, 'I
DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHETHER I
00:25:24.69\00:25:28.09
WAS GOING TO USE MY STAFF OR USE
MY SLING, BUT THANK YOU, LORD, I
00:25:28.09\00:25:31.13
KNEW YOU'D PROVIDE AN OPENING.'
I DON'T KNOW IF DAVID KNEW
00:25:31.13\00:25:33.36
EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO,
BUT GOD REVEALED IT TO HIM AT
00:25:33.36\00:25:36.93
THE RIGHT MOMENT. AND,
AS HE'S RUNNING, HE SEES
00:25:36.93\00:25:39.33
GOLIATH'S GOT A BIG
BULLS EYE ON HIS FOREHEAD.
00:25:39.33\00:25:42.67
HE TAKES A STONE AND HE SLUNG
THAT STONE WHILE RUNNING AND IT
00:25:42.67\00:25:48.84
HIT THE GIANT IN THE HEAD
AND HIS EYES CROSSED UP AND HE
00:25:48.84\00:25:53.82
STAGGERED AND THEN HE FELL
INGLORIOUSLY ON HIS FACE WITH A
00:25:53.82\00:25:58.35
BIG THUD AND THERE, DAVID, IN
FRONT OF EVERYBODY, DECAPITATED
00:25:58.35\00:26:02.32
THE GIANT - JUST AS HE SAID,
'I WILL TAKE YOUR HEAD FROM YOU
00:26:02.32\00:26:05.19
TODAY' - MAKE SURE HE
WASN'T GETTING BACK UP AGAIN.
00:26:05.19\00:26:09.16
WHAT DID HE USE TO
KILL HIM? THE SWORD.
00:26:09.16\00:26:13.10
WHAT DO WE USE? WHAT
DID JESUS DO TO FIGHT
00:26:13.10\00:26:15.10
THE DEVIL IN THE WILDERNESS?
'IT IS WRITTEN.' FRIENDS, WE'RE

THIS IS NOT JUST A BIBLE STORY.

THE DEVIL IS - HE'S
MUCH BIGGER THAN WE ARE.
00:26:22.44\00:26:25.95
HE'S A POWERFUL ANGEL AND HIS
DEVILS - HIS DEMONS - THEY'RE
00:26:25.95\00:26:30.09
MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN WE ARE.
WE CAN'T FIGHT THESE GIANTS,
00:26:30.09\00:26:33.79
WE'RE JUST
GRASSHOPPERS WITHOUT CHRIST.
00:26:33.79\00:26:37.09
>>AMEN. >>BUT THROUGH CHRIST WE
00:26:37.09\00:26:39.76
CAN HAVE GIANT
FAITH. >>STAY TUNED.
